I eat candy in the horror world
Chapter 174 I Pick Up Trash Every Day 02
So far, a total of four people have come in, Song Xi and Jiang Su live in a standard room, Pang Hao and He Fei each live in a single room, all on the same floor.
Pang Hao held the room card and pestle at the door of Song Xi, not wanting to leave, "If you don't want to chat anymore, I'll be bored by myself."
Song Xi: "You are afraid."
Pang Hao originally wanted to defend his face, but then he thought about what to do if Song Xi really refused to let him in, and hurriedly apologized with a bitter face: "There is a little bit." He looked around and saw a He covered his mouth with his hands and said in a low voice, "Didn't you notice that there seems to be no other residents on this floor."
There were only four of them when they went upstairs, and they talked at the door for about ten minutes after they came up, but they didn't see a single local person coming out of the room.
Song Xi: "...If you really lived with other people, you might cry."
"Who said..." Pang Hao choked in the middle of his words. Yes, this is not a normal world. If the other residents of the hotel are not natives and people from the real world, there is only one possibility...
ghost, or monster.
Pang Hao felt more and more eerie in those quiet rooms, and wanted to squeeze into the room sideways, but Jiang Su quickly stopped him.
Jiang Su pointed to the diagonally opposite room expressionlessly, "Go back to your own room."
Pang Hao didn't want to lose face at this moment, he put his palms together and bowed, "Brother, just let me stay with you, what if I live alone and am attacked at night."
The room in the middle of the corridor suddenly opened, and He Fei came out wearing a nightgown with her hair wrapped up. She glanced at Pang Hao's expression and knew what he was begging from Song Xi and the others. She snorted coldly, "You son of a bitch."
Pang Hao stared, wanting to scold back, but considering her relationship with Mr. Zhang, he held back for now.
He Fei walked past the door with a cold face, and said lightly, "Song Xi, I have not forgotten the favor I owe you."
Song Xi didn't say a word, until He Fei turned the corridor, he explained to Pang Hao who was full of curiosity: "When I first came in, I helped her once."
"I really can't see that such a stinky mouth can remember love." Pang Hao remembered the sentence just now and was furious, "I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug surnamed Zhang took, but he fell in love with such a woman."
After finishing speaking, he quickly glanced at Jiang Su, who had obviously relaxed his vigilance, and bent down to sneak into the room through the gap between the two bodies.
He threw himself on the sofa, clutching the armrest with both hands: "I won't leave, I won't leave even if I'm killed."
Song Xi looked at his thrashing body speechlessly, tugged at Jiang Su's sleeve, "Forget it, let him stay."
Jiang Su was very dissatisfied with the destroyer of the two-person world, looking at Pang Hao's back, he wanted to poke two holes out of him.After a while, he let out an "um" from his nasal cavity unwillingly, and went into the bathroom under Song Xi's push and push.
Song Xi came to sit down at the coffee table, and joked, "Forget about today, but you're going to stay here tomorrow?"
If it was the first time he entered the horror world with Pang Hao, and he still had some concerns about the other party's shareholder status, then now, Song Xi has completely regarded him as a friend.
Pang Hao buried his face in the pillow, "Don't say it so harshly, the three of us know each other best, and we can better deal with danger when we stay together."
Obviously he was cowardly.
Song Xi sneered, got up and went to the wardrobe to get his nightgown.He closed the cabinet door and was about to turn around, when he heard a very faint reminder of the arrival of the elevator from the corridor outside, followed by a burst of footsteps.
From the peephole, three dirty people were passing by the door of their room.
Seeing the young man standing at the door peeping at something, Pang Hao tiptoed over to have a look together.The people outside the door seemed to be very tired, walking listlessly, two men and one woman were holding room cards in their hands, checking the room number carefully.
Soon, the three of them walked out of their field of vision, Song Xi stood up straight, and looked at Pang Hao in blank dismay.
Pang Hao: "A new teammate?"
Song Xi: "Not sure, let's get to know each other tomorrow morning."
Pang Hao nodded, just as Jiang Su had finished taking a shower, Song Xi entered the door sideways with his bathrobe in his arms.The bathroom was steamy and the temperature was a bit suffocating. He turned on the ventilation fan, took off his clothes and stood in the bathtub.
When the water rushed down, Song Xi closed his eyes, and the narration and hints in the script appeared in his mind.
In both places, the same thing was mentioned - garbage.
But so far, except for that alley, Song Xi has never seen any garbage anywhere, including the hotel's trash can.
When he got on the elevator, he noticed the trash can next to the elevator. It was very clean, and it should have been emptied not long ago.Not to mention the room, every trash can was empty.
It was very late today, after taking a shower, Song Xi crawled into the quilt, and was hugged by Jiang Su from behind.
When Pang Hao came out of the shower, he saw two grown men hugging each other tightly, sleeping with their necks crossed.After holding back for a long time, the words finally blurted out, "These two are really showing their affection even through their pores, driving single dogs to death, bah."
The hotel did not have an early call service, and no room staff came to call for breakfast. The three of them slept until almost noon.
Pang Hao nestled on the small sofa all night, and felt sore all over his body the first second he opened his eyes. He moaned and wanted to turn over, but accidentally fell off the sofa to the ground, hitting the coffee table with his hands and feet, making a thud.
Song Xi and Jiang Su were hiding in the quilt and kissing, when Song Xi was startled, he lifted the quilt and sat up, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Su's face was black and black, and he hugged Song Xi's shoulders, implying: "Brother, let's sleep for a while, don't worry about him."
Pang Hao was in pain from the impact, and let out a small wail from his mouth. It would be too stupid for Song Xi to lie down under such circumstances.He sighed, touched the top of Jiang Su's head to comfort him: "Next time, let's have a longer time next time."
Hearing these words, Pang Hao's ears turned red, and he hated why I wasn't deaf!
He shouted at the top of his voice, "Could you please help me, no matter how excited you are in the early morning, you should take my existence into consideration."
He dared to hide under the quilt and play eagle and chicken while he was still there. If he wasn't here... I didn't dare to think about it, I didn't dare to think about it.
Pang Hao didn't know which tendon of his was touched. One leg was sore, limp, and numb, as if thousands of ants had crawled over it together.He stood up with Song Xi's strength, slumped on the sofa and said weakly: "Tonight I will bring the quilt over to make a bed on the floor."
Just as Song Xi was about to speak, Pang Hao said, "As a reward for lodging, I'll give you [-]% of my shares when I get back."
Song Xi's entertainment company is very large, [-]% is not a lot, but it is not a lot. The dividends in one year are enough to buy Jiang Su a small car to drive.
Song Xi took out his cell phone solemnly, "Say it again, I'll record it."
Pang Hao: "..."
Fuck, self-interested, inhumane.
The three packed up and went downstairs.
The difference from yesterday was that there were about a dozen people standing in the empty hall, and Shi Jinpeng was not among them.Some people were crying, some were sad, and some sporadic ones were still calm, looking in the direction of the elevator without blinking.
Seeing Song Xi and the others coming out of the elevator, everyone looked over, and some people had bright eyes, as if they were waiting for them specially.
Song Xi hesitated for a second, then walked straight over.A young woman came out of the group, it was He Fei.
He Fei said indifferently: "They also came in yesterday, and they were all guided here by taxi drivers or passers-by."
"The Langting Hotel is our next destination?" Song Xi asked.
He Fei shook her head: "It's not sure yet."
There were too many people, and the hall became noisy. The lobby manager stood aside like a log, watching everyone without saying a word.The two sides seem to be caught in a kind of tacit stalemate.
When the pointer pointed to twelve o'clock, the manager suddenly said: "Here we come." He smiled relievedly, and smiled at everyone, "The person who picked you up has arrived."
Everyone turned their heads to look at the door, and a middle-aged man in a vest and shorts walked in through the revolving door.
He had a small fanny pack slung across his chest, took out a mobile phone from it, and started calling everyone by name.Everyone who is called must respond with "to".
After the roll call, the man introduced himself: "My name is Ma Xingguo, and I will be in charge of arranging your next residence."
Seeing everyone's blank faces, he paused for a moment and asked in confusion, "Didn't you all come to work from xx village in city B? I heard that you are all from the same village."
A man dressed as an elite with sleek hair stood up and said with a smile, "Yes, we are all from the same village."
Ma Xingguo nodded, "Alright, we are all acquaintances, which saves time for getting to know each other."
The elite man smiled, "Mr. Ma, what are our next arrangements?"
"Take you to the place where you will live in the future." Ma Xingguo said, "The residential area is relatively old and the environment is very ordinary. The advantage is that the rent is cheap. The money you sent to the villagers was just enough to live for a month. When the time comes, you will live there." Continue to pay yourself."
Song Xi asked a question that seemed strange to others: "Can we only live for a month?"
Someone gave him a sideways look, thinking that he might be deaf.
Ma Xingguo said with a good attitude: "Of course not, as long as you pay the rent on time, you can live forever."
Pang Haoyue understood why Song Xi asked such a question, and leaned closer and whispered, "It means that the time limit is very generous this time. How long can we stay here as long as we can pay the rent?"
Jiang Su said coldly, "That depends on whether you can live to pay the rent."
Pang Hao: "..."
Song Xi asked: "President Pang, do you have any money?"
Pang Hao pulled out two trouser pockets and touched another pocket, "There are only mobile phones and cards, and there are only more than 3000 banknotes."
Song Xi pressed his shoulder with one hand, and handed all the banknotes on his body to Pang Hao with the other, pledging his life: "Mr. Pang, cover me from now on." After speaking, he pulled Jiang Su to his side and begged for cover together.
Pang Haoxin said that he still doesn't know who is covering whom, and I'm just a scumbag here.
After listening to Ma Xingguo's words, the people present became restless.Those who were holding back their tears, began to cry uncomfortably, whimpering and shouting: "I want to go home, I don't want to live in any community, when can we go home."
Ma Xingguo was stunned, and said softly: "You can do it now. Those who want to go home can go straight along this road, and they will soon see the toll booth on the expressway. Just pass under the toll pole."
"What you said is true?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy asked in surprise, his eyes sparkling.
Ma Xingguo said: "Of course it is true, I don't need to lie to you."
The boy excitedly turned to the others and said, "Did you hear that, you can leave, we're leaving now!"
"Wait." The elite man stopped, "You can't believe what he said, the exit he said must be a dead end."
As soon as this remark came out, the people who were as excited as the boys quickly cooled down, and only the boy was emotional, "How do you know that it is a dead end? Is it just based on your own words?"
He pointed at the elite man and looked back at the others, "Didn't you notice that this man has been talking to himself, saying that we are in a world of terror, that there are monsters here, and that people here have ghosts in their hearts that need to be guarded against?" ! But since you moved in last night, have you encountered any bad things?!"
"No..." the middle-aged uncle murmured, "We have always been safe."
The boy said: "This is all a scam. You must be trying to trick me into staying here so that we can blackmail our family for ransom!" The more he said, the more certain he was of his guess, and he looked at the elite man. become fierce.
Song Xi emphasized: "He didn't hurt you."
The boy turned his head abruptly, "I recognize you, you have acted in movies and TV shows, how could you believe his words!"
"I have been to this world many times." Song Xi said, "Can this reason convince you to calm down?"
Probably the strange environment makes the boy uneasy, or the elite man once told everyone about the dangers of this world, which made him reject this place subconsciously. You are obviously in the same group as him!"
The boy obviously fell into stubbornness, and it was useless to talk too much, Song Xi shut his mouth and stood aside.
Seeing that no one stopped him anymore, the boy started to panic instead, but he couldn't hold back.In addition, at this time, Ma Xingguo said again: "Little brother, you can leave if you want, the only chance is this time."
The boy's wavering heart had a direction, and he walked out angrily, and he didn't forget to turn around and shout to the people behind him: "If you don't leave, there will be no chance!"
Someone's heart was moved, at first they just followed two steps, and finally they also started to run.
They want to go home, not spend time in some goddamn world.
Seeing Ma Xingguo's interested expression, Song Xi could conclude that there was a problem with the "exit".Just as he was thinking of chasing after him, Ma Xingguo suddenly stood in front of him, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is entitled to choose their own path in the future. Next, it's up to you, to go , or stay, it’s up to you to choose.”
In just a few words, the figures of the children had disappeared.
Song Xi pursed his lower lip, stared at Ma Xingguo's eyes and raised his hand: "I choose to stay."
Gradually, the rest of the people raised their hands.They looked at each other anxiously, praying that their choice was the right one.
Ma Xingguo nodded in satisfaction, "You go upstairs to get your luggage first, then follow me."
Not far from the hotel, there is a minibus parked.The interior of the car was stuffy, and some seats were stained with red and black stains.
Song Xi found a relatively clean chair and sat down, leaning towards Jiang Su and whispering, "Are those marks blood?"
Some of the stains are just small dots, while others are the size of a palm.Almost half of the two most conspicuous seats were dyed red and black.The stain has been soaked into the fibers after a long time, and it's fine if you can't rub it off with your fingertips, and there is almost no smell.
Song Xi opened the car window to get some air, and looked at the shop across the street with his palms on his cheeks. Two girls came out of the shop holding hands, each holding a small cake in his hand.
Next to this store is a high-end barbershop, because there are no customers, the barbers are bored in front of the mirror to arrange their hairstyles.
Not far away, an old couple crossed the road with a fat pug on their hands.
……
If it wasn't for the hint from the script, Song Xi would almost have thought that this was a normal world.
Not long after, the car started.It drove slowly along the street, and Ma Xingguo sat at the front, introducing every detail of the city vividly.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside an old dilapidated residential area.
As soon as we got out of the car, we could smell a faint sour smell.
Ma Xingguo took it for granted, and explained apologetically: "The reason why the rent in this community is cheap is that there is a garbage dump about two kilometers away. The garbage dump is very large. It's okay in winter, but it smells bad in summer. Easy to float over."
There was a delicate person in the crowd, she scolded, "How could you find us a place like this to live in, who knows if there is a virus in that dump."
Ma Xingguo looked embarrassed: "This is the most cost-effective one I can find. If you don't want to live, I will discuss with the landlord and refund the money to you. You can use the money to find a better place."
The girl thought it was feasible, and looked back at her new friend, "Do you want to come with me?"
The invited girl quickly shook her head, and gently held her back to persuade her, "It's too dangerous for us to go out and live alone, so let's go with everyone."
The delicate girl had no choice but to give up, holding her nose and retreating far away.
Ma Xingguo said: "There are limited houses in the community. Three of you have left just now, and there are still seventeen of you left. Among the houses I rented, there are five houses with three houses, which can accommodate fifteen people, and two houses with one house." One set, just the remaining two can live alone."
"Currently?" Song Xi felt that his choice of words was strange, and in colloquial words, he would usually directly say how much is left, instead of adding an adverb of time in front.After all, being present means things may change later.
"Yes, at present. There is another villager who was left behind when you came, have you all forgotten?" He seemed not to see everyone's blank expressions, and continued, "Okay, you can discuss who you will live with .”
Pang Hao stood in line quickly, holding on to Song Xi, "You don't want to leave me and Jiang Su to live a two-person world, I will live with you."
It was inevitable that the house had been taken, so he rushed to Ma Xingguo after speaking, and wanted to leave a three-bedroom house.The rest of the people also quickly finished their discussions. The elite man lived with two middle-aged men, and He Fei lived with the girl who almost rented another house before.
In the end, a man and a woman were singled out to live in a single room. One was named Charlie Guan and the other was named Tan Yisi.
After the accommodation is allocated,
Ma Xingguo distributed the keys to everyone, and then took them upstairs in person.
Among the seven houses, five three-bedroom houses are in one building, and two one-bedroom houses are in another building.
The two buildings faced each other, separated by a small open space. There was a tree in the center of the open space. Under the tree was a stone table. An old man was sitting alone at the table and playing chess with himself.
The house Song Xi and the others were going to live in was on the first floor. The house was very clean and fully furnished.
Pang Hao went to the kitchen and poured water for the three of them. Just as he sat down, he saw Song Xi who was sitting on the sofa stand up.
I saw him striding to the window, frowning and staring ahead.
Ma Xingguo, who was leading people upstairs two or three minutes ago, was running towards the gate of the community with an excited expression on his face.
Song Xi and Jiang Su looked at each other, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes. They jumped out from the first floor through the window, and followed Ma Xingguo to the gate of the community.
Ma Xingguo got on the minibus, looking at his expression and movements, he seemed to be instructing the driver where to go.The driver nodded, closed the door, started the car, and drove towards the way he came.
Looking at the car going away, Song Xi said regretfully: "What should I do, I'm driving too fast, I can't catch up at all."
Jiang Su said: "There are two options. One, wait and see where we are. According to Ma Xingguo's attitude towards us, he should not let us go. He should come back. Second, go back to the rented house to rest."
Song Xi didn't hesitate, "I'll choose one."
Pang Hao held the room card and pestle at the door of Song Xi, not wanting to leave, "If you don't want to chat anymore, I'll be bored by myself."
Song Xi: "You are afraid."
Pang Hao originally wanted to defend his face, but then he thought about what to do if Song Xi really refused to let him in, and hurriedly apologized with a bitter face: "There is a little bit." He looked around and saw a He covered his mouth with his hands and said in a low voice, "Didn't you notice that there seems to be no other residents on this floor."
There were only four of them when they went upstairs, and they talked at the door for about ten minutes after they came up, but they didn't see a single local person coming out of the room.
Song Xi: "...If you really lived with other people, you might cry."
"Who said..." Pang Hao choked in the middle of his words. Yes, this is not a normal world. If the other residents of the hotel are not natives and people from the real world, there is only one possibility...

Pang Hao: "A new teammate?"
Song Xi: "Not sure, let's get to know each other tomorrow morning."
Pang Hao nodded, just as Jiang Su had finished taking a shower, Song Xi entered the door sideways with his bathrobe in his arms.The bathroom was steamy and the temperature was a bit suffocating. He turned on the ventilation fan, took off his clothes and stood in the bathtub.

Pang Hao: "..."
Fuck, self-interested, inhumane.
The three packed up and went downstairs.
The difference from yesterday was that there were about a dozen people standing in the empty hall, and Shi Jinpeng was not among them.Some people were crying, some were sad, and some sporadic ones were still calm, looking in the direction of the elevator without blinking.

He had a small fanny pack slung across his chest, took out a mobile phone from it, and started calling everyone by name.Everyone who is called must respond with "to".
After the roll call, the man introduced himself: "My name is Ma Xingguo, and I will be in charge of arranging your next residence."
Seeing everyone's blank faces, he paused for a moment and asked in confusion, "Didn't you all come to work from xx village in city B? I heard that you are all from the same village."
A man dressed as an elite with sleek hair stood up and said with a smile, "Yes, we are all from the same village."

Song Xi asked a question that seemed strange to others: "Can we only live for a month?"
Someone gave him a sideways look, thinking that he might be deaf.
Ma Xingguo said with a good attitude: "Of course not, as long as you pay the rent on time, you can live forever."
Pang Haoyue understood why Song Xi asked such a question, and leaned closer and whispered, "It means that the time limit is very generous this time. How long can we stay here as long as we can pay the rent?"
Jiang Su said coldly, "That depends on whether you can live to pay the rent."
Pang Hao: "..."
Song Xi asked: "President Pang, do you have any money?"
Pang Hao pulled out two trouser pockets and touched another pocket, "There are only mobile phones and cards, and there are only more than 3000 banknotes."
Song Xi pressed his shoulder with one hand, and handed all the banknotes on his body to Pang Hao with the other, pledging his life: "Mr. Pang, cover me from now on." After speaking, he pulled Jiang Su to his side and begged for cover together.
Pang Haoxin said that he still doesn't know who is covering whom, and I'm just a scumbag here.
After listening to Ma Xingguo's words, the people present became restless.Those who were holding back their tears, began to cry uncomfortably, whimpering and shouting: "I want to go home, I don't want to live in any community, when can we go home."
Ma Xingguo was stunned, and said softly: "You can do it now. Those who want to go home can go straight along this road, and they will soon see the toll booth on the expressway. Just pass under the toll pole."
"What you said is true?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy asked in surprise, his eyes sparkling.
Ma Xingguo said: "Of course it is true, I don't need to lie to you."
The boy excitedly turned to the others and said, "Did you hear that, you can leave, we're leaving now!"

But since you moved in last night, have you encountered any bad things?!"
"No..." the middle-aged uncle murmured, "We have always been safe."
The boy said: "This is all a scam. You must be trying to trick me into staying here so that we can blackmail our family for ransom!" The more he said, the more certain he was of his guess, and he looked at the elite man. become fierce.
Song Xi emphasized: "He didn't hurt you."
The boy turned his head abruptly, "I recognize you, you have acted in movies and TV shows, how could you believe his words!"
"I have been to this world many times." Song Xi said, "Can this reason convince you to calm down?"
Probably the strange environment makes the boy uneasy, or the elite man once told everyone about the dangers of this world, which made him reject this place subconsciously. You are obviously in the same group as him!"
The boy obviously fell into stubbornness, and it was useless to talk too much, Song Xi shut his mouth and stood aside.
Seeing that no one stopped him anymore, the boy started to panic instead, but he couldn't hold back.In addition, at this time, Ma Xingguo said again: "Little brother, you can leave if you want, the only chance is this time."
The boy's wavering heart had a direction, and he walked out angrily, and he didn't forget to turn around and shout to the people behind him: "If you don't leave, there will be no chance!"
Someone's heart was moved, at first they just followed two steps, and finally they also started to run.
They want to go home, not spend time in some goddamn world.
Seeing Ma Xingguo's interested expression, Song Xi could conclude that there was a problem with the "exit".Just as he was thinking of chasing after him, Ma Xingguo suddenly stood in front of him, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is entitled to choose their own path in the future. Next, it's up to you, to go , or stay, it’s up to you to choose.”
In just a few words, the figures of the children had disappeared.
Song Xi pursed his lower lip, stared at Ma Xingguo's eyes and raised his hand: "I choose to stay."
Gradually, the rest of the people raised their hands.They looked at each other anxiously, praying that their choice was the right one.
Ma Xingguo nodded in satisfaction, "You go upstairs to get your luggage first, then follow me."
Not far from the hotel, there is a minibus parked.The interior of the car was stuffy, and some seats were stained with red and black stains.
Song Xi found a relatively clean chair and sat down, leaning towards Jiang Su and whispering, "Are those marks blood?"
Some of the stains are just small dots, while others are the size of a palm.Almost half of the two most conspicuous seats were dyed red and black.The stain has been soaked into the fibers after a long time, and it's fine if you can't rub it off with your fingertips, and there is almost no smell.
Song Xi opened the car window to get some air, and looked at the shop across the street with his palms on his cheeks. Two girls came out of the shop holding hands, each holding a small cake in his hand.
Next to this store is a high-end barbershop, because there are no customers, the barbers are bored in front of the mirror to arrange their hairstyles.
Not far away, an old couple crossed the road with a fat pug on their hands.
……
If it wasn't for the hint from the script, Song Xi would almost have thought that this was a normal world.
Not long after, the car started.It drove slowly along the street, and Ma Xingguo sat at the front, introducing every detail of the city vividly.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside an old dilapidated residential area.
As soon as we got out of the car, we could smell a faint sour smell.
Ma Xingguo took it for granted, and explained apologetically: "The reason why the rent in this community is cheap is that there is a garbage dump about two kilometers away. The garbage dump is very large. It's okay in winter, but it smells bad in summer. Easy to float over."
There was a delicate person in the crowd, she scolded, "How could you find us a place like this to live in, who knows if there is a virus in that dump."
Ma Xingguo looked embarrassed: "This is the most cost-effective one I can find. If you don't want to live, I will discuss with the landlord and refund the money to you. You can use the money to find a better place."
The girl thought it was feasible, and looked back at her new friend, "Do you want to come with me?"
The invited girl quickly shook her head, and gently held her back to persuade her, "It's too dangerous for us to go out and live alone, so let's go with everyone."
The delicate girl had no choice but to give up, holding her nose and retreating far away.
Ma Xingguo said: "There are limited houses in the community. Three of you have left just now, and there are still seventeen of you left. Among the houses I rented, there are five houses with three houses, which can accommodate fifteen people, and two houses with one house." One set, just the remaining two can live alone."
"Currently?" Song Xi felt that his choice of words was strange, and in colloquial words, he would usually directly say how much is left, instead of adding an adverb of time in front.After all, being present means things may change later.
"Yes, at present. There is another villager who was left behind when you came, have you all forgotten?" He seemed not to see everyone's blank expressions, and continued, "Okay, you can discuss who you will live with .”
Pang Hao stood in line quickly, holding on to Song Xi, "You don't want to leave me and Jiang Su to live a two-person world, I will live with you."
It was inevitable that the house had been taken, so he rushed to Ma Xingguo after speaking, and wanted to leave a three-bedroom house.The rest of the people also quickly finished their discussions. The elite man lived with two middle-aged men, and He Fei lived with the girl who almost rented another house before.
In the end, a man and a woman were singled out to live in a single room. One was named Charlie Guan and the other was named Tan Yisi.
After the accommodation is allocated,
Ma Xingguo distributed the keys to everyone, and then took them upstairs in person.
Among the seven houses, five three-bedroom houses are in one building, and two one-bedroom houses are in another building.
The two buildings faced each other, separated by a small open space. There was a tree in the center of the open space. Under the tree was a stone table. An old man was sitting alone at the table and playing chess with himself.
The house Song Xi and the others were going to live in was on the first floor. The house was very clean and fully furnished.
Pang Hao went to the kitchen and poured water for the three of them. Just as he sat down, he saw Song Xi who was sitting on the sofa stand up.
I saw him striding to the window, frowning and staring ahead.
Ma Xingguo, who was leading people upstairs two or three minutes ago, was running towards the gate of the community with an excited expression on his face.
Song Xi and Jiang Su looked at each other, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes. They jumped out from the first floor through the window, and followed Ma Xingguo to the gate of the community.
Ma Xingguo got on the minibus, looking at his expression and movements, he seemed to be instructing the driver where to go.The driver nodded, closed the door, started the car, and drove towards the way he came.
Looking at the car going away, Song Xi said regretfully: "What should I do, I'm driving too fast, I can't catch up at all."
Jiang Su said: "There are two options. One, wait and see where we are. According to Ma Xingguo's attitude towards us, he should not let us go. He should come back. Second, go back to the rented house to rest."
Song Xi didn't hesitate, "I'll choose one."
